GENTLE REMINDERS

There is something so peaceful about sitting out on my deck each morning and watching God’s little creatures begin their day. Besides all the different birds that frequent my feeders, the hummingbirds have finally started returning. I enjoy just watching them as they dart back and forth to sip the sweet nectar I put out for them.

Then, yesterday morning, I was surprised by a little garden visitor I haven’t seen in several years: a tiny chipmunk was scampering up and down my hickory tree! I watched him for probably an hour. What a delight!

Moments like these are gentle reminders of the beauty, wonder, and creativity of God’s creation all around us. I am so thankful for these simple blessings that brighten my days and fill my heart with gratitude and peace.
